Lecture: Women in Islam as Portrayed in Biographical Sources
The survey illustrates that exploring the beginnings of Islamic civilization proves that the time of the Prophet included the highest number of women appearing in biographical sources. This makes the Prophet's time the richest in the context of the number of women. That of course can be explained in light of the importance of women as transmitters of religious knowledge and as figures of sacred history in the Prophet's journey.
